I can have soup, but I am supposed to add protein powder to it. I have not found one that tastes very good yet. In about a week, I will advance to the &#8220;pureed&#8221; stage, which will open up many more options for me! Unrelated to my surgery, on a positive note this week, I got my braces off after nearly 3 years!!
